8/7/24 - You Need Joy

Friends, we don’t know what’s going on, but we’re really feeling this whole Harris/Walz thing?!?! How are the democrats doing it? Will they mess it up spectacularly like usual, or is this actually sustainable? We’ll discuss all things veep, plus the other deeply important story of the week: RJK Jr. & The Bear. Don’t miss it!

7/22/24 - Unburdened by What Has Been

We’re back! And we recorded this episode just hours after Biden’s decision to pull out of the race. We’ll break it ALL down for you, and tell you how right we were about nearly everything. Don’t miss out on this epic episode!

5/12/24 - Brain Worms Nation

Well, it’s been about 6 weeks, but we are VERY BUSY PEOPLE. And the main thing is…we’re back in time to discuss RFK Jr’s brain worms. And really, isn’t that what you’re looking for out of this podcast? Yeah, that’s what we thought. Don’t miss a totally scientific discussion on the matter, along with speculation on who else might have them. All that plus TONS more!

1/29/24 - The Civil War of Their Dreams

What a week! A presidential primary, congressional shenanigans, threats of escalating war everywhere, and even the threat of a civil war here at home. Okay that all sounds pretty bleak, but we promise you this podcast is somehow still a real banger of an episode. Don’t miss it!

9/11/23 - Read the Room! (Featuring Jeremy Payne from Catalyst California)

What an episode! Turns out it was another bad week of polling for Biden, and a stupendously bad week for Democrats on the internet in their quest to understand math. But don’t worry, things are going to get dicey for the GOP this week too...government shutdown, anyone?! Plus…we’ve got an amazing interview with Jeremy Payne of Catalyst California, who gives us a full update on the exciting reforms that may be coming to LA City Council.

1/30/22 - Always Be Gossiping

We’re back, and no matter what the media says about whether we should or shouldn’t be covering George Santos, we here at BTL have a deeply held belief that we should cover him at all costs. So consider this THE Santos news. We’ll cover that, plus a slew of movement in 2024 races! Don’t miss it!

1/25/23 - Broken Brain Syndrome

We are BACK! Live and in person, together again. Don’t miss a real free-wheeling, slightly unhinged podcast covering everything from sinkholes to tax policy to George Santos.
